I think this is the first time I've heard of a fake bimetallic!

Interesting how in so many places of the world coins of value under 10c are scarcely used. (But yet in the U.S. and Canada...) Thanks also for those prices... always interesting to find out what things cost (and salaries) in different places!

Those cents...

This thing sucks!

Don't we all? That'd be pretty cool.

Quit taking pictures of me! You know, I'm not being paid for this...

Ah, that explains why I so often see Dutch silver coin jewelery. (most often with the 10c and 25c. I have a pair of cufflinks myself, somewhere) Kinda like how the Danish had their pins with the Christian IX monogram... Definately of cultutal and historial interest...

That's gotta be fun!

Odd.

It is illegal in Canada. Usually they'll just confiscate it without penalty if it appears that someone just had one (received as genuine) as an example.

Line 448: In this Part, "counterfeit money" includes ( a ) a false coin or false paper money that resembles or is apparently intended to resemble or pass for a current coin or current paper money, ( b ) a forged bank-note or forged blank bank-note, whether complete or incomplete, ( c ) a genuine coin or genuine paper money that is prepared or altered to resemble or pass for a current coin or current paper money of a higher denomination, ( d ) a current coin from which the milling is removed by filing or cutting the edges and on which new milling is made to restore its appearance, ( e ) a coin cased with gold, silver or nickel, as the case may be, that is intended to resemble or pass for a current gold, silver or nickel coin, and ( f ) a coin or a piece of metal or mixed metals that is washed or coloured by any means with a wash or material capable of producing the appearance of gold, silver or nickel and that is intended to resemble or pass for a current gold, silver or nickel coin

Criminal Code Line 450: Every one who, without lawful justification or excuse, the proof of which lies on him, ( a ) buys, receives or offers to buy or receive, ( b ) has in his custody or possession, or ( c ) introduces into Canada, counterfeit money is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.

Could you explain that? A search for "International Bureau of Numismatic Standards and Puritanism" turns up nothing.

Neither. I don't really recognize anything past MS67

You mean that Czech note is just one note? Looks almost like two since the two sides are completely different... Definately unusual.

Both reverse and obverse of the French take elements from Roman coinage, but that Hamburg piece sure is decent. Gotta use my second abstain vote on this.

Abstain. Can't really decide on a ugly portrait of an historical piece.

Thaler.
